NHS Research and Planning Fund

The objectives of the Fund are to:

• build collaboration, engagement and alignment with stakeholders working to achieve common goals
• support the housing community’s research capacity development

This stakeholder-focused funding opportunity helps promote interest and involvement in housing research outside of government :

• it supports data development
• it cultivates and supports highly focused expertise to rapidly overcome challenges
• it develops solutions to improving affordable housing for communities across Canada

This fund provides financial support in three different streams:

1. funding support for individual research projects
2. funding support for a “program of research”
3. funding support for planning activities with a focus on research
